Wowhead looter spam to its own tab?

Hi. I just started using the Wowhead Looter addon, and was wondering if there is a way (with the default chat UI) to send the addon's messages to a new chat window? I know there is a toggle to turn off messages completely, but I would rather they just go to a different tab of my chat so I can still get feedback from the addon.
I made a new window, named it "Wowhead Looter", right-clicked it and chose "Settings" but there doesn't seem to be a way to filter these messages probably because they're sent to DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME or ChatFrame1.
What I suggest is perhaps on startup, the addon could loop through GetChatWindowInfo(3) through whatever searching for some predetermined text, e.g. "wowhead" or "WL". If a match is found, messages get sent to ChatFrame3 (or whatever), else, they get sent to ChatFrame1 (default).
A much cleaner way (if the API allows for it) would be to tag the messages somehow and add a checkbox in the chat filter settings for it. Then, not only could you decide which tab(s) got the messages, but you could also use this to hide the messages completely (making the /wl nospam command redundant or obsolete).
I may tinker with this on my own, but I thought I'd share my idea as a feature request in case other people want this too.
